Camera club snappers are always out and about spotting the best of the wildlife Sussex has to offer.

But they also try their hand at photographing the more exotic animals kept at sites like Drusillas Zoo Park near Alfriston. 

Suzi Sullivan captured some fabulous snaps of the amazing range of species housed at Tilgate Nature Centre, a small zoo in Crawley.

Suzi snapped the impressive galah, an Australian cockatoo with its beautiful rose breast, grey rump, a pink face and breast, and a light pink crest.

She also caught a tapir rustling around in the grass for a tasty morsel.

The serval she photographed appeared to be looking right at the camera with a somewhat menacing stare, while the Scottish wildcat looked more bemused. 

Tilgate Nature Centre was formed in 1966 by Crawley Borough Council to breed ducklings for introduction into the three lakes at Tilgate.

Prices are £8 for adults, £7 for a child and there is a £1 discount for Crawley residents. Contact the centre for details.
